Chapter 111: Unable to defeat the childhood sweetheart who fell from the sky (1)
In the car, Mu Zhou received a message on his phone.
It was sent by Jiang Xun.
[Stop making trouble, hurry back, and don't embarrass Sister Linlang.]
[Can you be more understanding? You are only five years younger than Sister Linlang, why are you so childish?]
Also sending a message was Mu Zhou’s good sister who he had played with since childhood.
"Mumu, don't be angry. We didn't call you because we were afraid you would be upset if you saw Sister Linlang."
[Be good, I asked them to prepare your favorite mango mille-feuille, come back soon.]
Seeing that she didn't reply, she even called me.
Mu Zhou was annoyed so he simply turned off the phone and continued to lean back in his chair.
The original owner and Jiang Xun grew up together and were childhood sweethearts.
The original owner was a good girl who grew up in pampering. She was very simple and had always had a crush on Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun has been a cold and taciturn person since he was a child, but he is very caring towards the original owner.
Although the two families did not explicitly mention any engagement, they basically assumed that they would get married after graduating from college.
Since Jiang Xun never expressed any objection, the original owner tacitly assumed that he had some feelings for her, and the love in her heart became increasingly difficult to hide.
Almost all her friends could see what she was thinking, and would tease her from time to time, calling her Jiang Xun's young wife.
Jiang Xun just smiled and did not deny it.
The original owner thought they would proceed step by step, but her little happiness was broken some time ago.
Xu Linlang is back.
Although they were not familiar with each other before, as long as Xu Linlang wanted, she could become good friends with anyone.
So for the next period of time, whether it was the original owner having afternoon tea with her sisters, or having dinner alone with her childhood friend Jiang Xun, Xu Linlang could almost always be seen.
Moreover, during this period, Jiang Xun was busy with Xu Linlang's affairs and frequently broke his appointments with the original owner.
Although they were not big deals and it would seem petty to talk about them, the original owner just felt uncomfortable. The two had many quarrels over this, but in the end the original owner endured the grievance.
Especially last week, Mu Zhou tried to call Jiang Xun at night but couldn't get through. The last time he finally got through, it was Xu Linlang's voice on the other end of the line.
"He's busy. He'll call you back when he's done. Don't keep calling."
Her tone was a little impatient, and she didn't listen to what Mu Zhou said. She was about to hang up the phone after she finished speaking.
Before hanging up, she was still muttering, "Young girls nowadays are so clingy, checking up on people so closely."
The original owner was so angry that he cried.
She ran straight to the door of Jiang Xun's house and waited. Finally, she saw Jiang Xun and Xu Linlang coming back and having a big fight.
Jiang Xun's face looked unhappy after hearing the whole story, but he still patiently coaxed the original owner and explained that they were busy with important matters.
"Sister Linlang didn't mean anything else. I was chatting with a local leader at the time, and she answered the phone just because she was worried you'd be worried."
Afterwards, Jiang Xun apologized on behalf of the original owner and Xu Linlang.
"She has the mentality of a child. Sister Linlang, please don't mind that she got angry at you just now."
Xu Linlang 'generously' said that it didn't matter.
The original owner actually couldn't accept this explanation, but Jiang Xun acted like a man of integrity and had nothing to fear, thinking that she was thinking too much, so she could only let it go.
But afterwards, the original owner began to deliberately avoid contact with Xu Linlang.
Today is Jiang Xun's birthday.
As usual in previous years, they would hold birthday parties with a group of good friends.
Now that Xu Linlang has returned to China and has been very close to them recently, they must be invited.
The original owner thought that she would inevitably have to come into contact with Xu Linlang, but it was Jiang Xun's birthday after all, and she didn't want to make Jiang Xun unhappy, so she didn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xun saw her reluctance, and in order to take care of her little emotions, he decided not to hold a birthday party this year, but to celebrate with her alone.
This was a great honor for the original owner.
So the two of them cooked and baked cakes together at home and spent an ordinary birthday.
When the original owner returned home in the evening and was immersed in happiness, he saw a circle of friends posted by his friend.
They were at Jiang Xun's birthday party.
It turned out that Jiang Xun was afraid that she would make a fuss and not invite Xu Linlang, so he deliberately lied to her that he would not hold the party this year, and then secretly held it behind her back.
As a result, my friend forgot to block her when he posted on WeChat Moments.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and she rushed to the scene, and that's when what just happened happened.
In the original plot, the original owner made a scene at the scene, and Jiang Xun stopped coaxing her and said a lot of harsh words to her.
In the end, it was Xu Linlang who came out to mediate and stopped them from getting so angry.
After the original owner's friends also came out to support her, the original owner felt deeply betrayed by her friends and childhood sweetheart, and in a fit of anger she wanted to break off all ties with them.
She was so angry that her eyes were filled with tears, but Xu Linlang burst out laughing.
"You two are really just playing house, breaking up. Mu Zhou, we are all adults now, don't be so childish."
The original owner, who was treated like a child throwing a tantrum, could no longer tolerate everyone's ridicule and accusations against her.
It was as if she shouldn't be here and she should just act stupid.
After returning home, she blocked everyone's contact information.
Not long after, Xu Linlang's problem was resolved and she left the country, and Jiang Xu came back to her as if nothing had happened.
"Have you made enough of this? Sister Linlang has already left, what else do you want?"
The original owner finally stood up for once and drove the man away.
Unfortunately, the original owner was unable to get out of the shadow and suffered from depression for the rest of his life.
*
After recalling all this, Mu Zhou had already returned home.
As a junior, she did not live with her parents in a suburban villa or a dormitory, but in an apartment her parents bought for her.
The apartment is near the school, and Jiang Xun's house is also in this community.
Thinking of Jiang Xun, Mu Zhou secretly felt lucky that he was not the male protagonist of this dimension.
After she washed up and changed into her pajamas, she was drying her hair when the doorbell rang.
Mu Zhou looked at the monitor and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Outside the door was Jiang Xun.
This didn't happen in the original storyline.
In the original plot, after they had a big fight, the original owner blocked everyone's contact information, and then her relationship with Jiang Xu became cold.
It was not until Xu Linlang left the country that he came to find the original owner.
The doorbell continued to ring.
Thinking of the original owner's wish, Mu Zhou threw down the towel and slowly went to open the door.
Jiang Xun outside the door was almost out of patience. Mu Zhou had never quarreled with him like this before. He had already lowered his face to ask for peace, but was still turned away.
Just as he was about to leave, the door suddenly opened.
When she looked up, she saw Mu Zhou wearing only light pink ruffled suspender pajamas that only reached her knees, revealing her slender calves and ankles.
She had obviously just taken a shower, with mist lingering around her body. Her wet hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few strands of half-dry hair sticking to her cheeks.
Such a lazy and casual look, like a lotus emerging from the water, made Jiang Xun speechless for a moment, with only the sound of his heartbeat remaining.
Of course he knew that Mu Zhou was beautiful, but it seemed that he had never looked at her seriously.
Seeing that Mu Zhou's cold eyes revealed a hint of impatience, he coughed lightly to cover it up:
“Why is it turned off?”
"I don't want to answer your calls."
